Philosophy taster session
This online taster session will give you an insight into what it's like to study Philosophy at university. You'll have the chance to hear from our Philosophy academics, participate in a taster lecture and engage with current undergraduates.
Are We Morally Obliged to be Poor?
Are We Morally Obliged to be Poor? Almost everyone agrees that there are some occasions where we morally ought to help others, even if doing so comes at a high cost to us. Peter Singer argues that we have much stronger moral duties to people than we recognise, and that we ought to be giving most of our money to charity. We will consider his arguments for this claim, and try to work out if we really should make ourselves poor to help others.
